Cars don't belong in cities, says Top Gear's James May in c/fuckcars@lemmy.world

Also his show Toy stories was really cool.

He would pick a classic toy and take it to an extreme. Like building a people-sized house out of Lego, entering modeling clay flowers into a gardening contest or making a motorcycle out of Meccano.

He would bring a bunch of people together to make it happen, it was wholesome in a not-lame way. Plus the usual James May antics.

Belgian retail chain CASA files for bankruptcy (www.belganewsagency.eu)
 

Belgian homeware retailer CASA has filed for bankruptcy, putting 544 jobs at risk and leading to the closure of 63 stores, its headquarters, and its distribution centre in Olen.

The company, struggling with financial difficulties for years, cited mounting debt and an unfavourable retail market as key reasons for its collapse. Efforts to restructure and secure new investors failed to produce a viable solution.

CASA, which operates in eight European countries with over 2,200 employees, had been under judicial protection since October 2024. However, negotiations with creditors and potential buyers did not lead to a rescue plan. The protection period was set to end on 12 March.

Despite discussions with 12 potential investors, no agreement was reached for a takeover or financial injection. CASA had previously attempted to stabilise its business by closing loss-making stores and reorganising its headquarters, but continued market pressures made recovery impossible.

Closed stores

The case has now been submitted to the commercial court in Turnhout, which will determine the future of the company’s assets and employees. For now, all Belgian stores remain closed.

The fate of CASA’s international stores remains uncertain, as outcomes will depend on local laws and financial conditions in each country.

I ran out of time with not enough evidence... A lot of discrepancies though in their stories but not enough to solve it.

Edit: I feel like we should have a file on the case with the basic facts, like what the painting was, when the painting was stolen, if anything suspicious was found at the museum. Because it seems weird to ask suspects about that.

The 2025 FOSDEM puzzle isn't solved yet (fosdem.org)
 

There was a treasure hunt going on during the event and it seems it hasn't been solved yet. All clues are available on their news page.

(Hope this is gaming-related enough, feel free to let me know if there's a better place for this post)

There are missions but they're different. You need to buy a kit first that'll let you do a certain kind of mission, for example a kit to find special herbs that you bring to a particular character.

Money is more scarce and it is split between "regular" money and gold. Gold gets you good stuff like fancy horses or outfits or kits, but it is rare in the game, unless you pay real money for it.

All that said, there are a lot of people modding and playing online can be quite chaotic, with random objects becoming attached to you, animals spawning, massive explosions, invincible people, etc. But some people are also benevolent and will protect you, especially if you have a low level, and may even gift you stuff.

Anyway, I'd recommend you give it a shot, it's a way to play with the characters and places you know but in a different way.
